an authorized service technician, or a similarly qualiﬁ ed person, in order to

avoid any hazards.

•

The appliance shall not be supplied through an external switching device,

such as a timer, or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and oﬀ

by a utility.

• After the drying process, unplug the dryer power cord from the power

outlet.

• In case of incorrect appliance connection, incorrect use, or servicing by an

unauthorized person, the user shall bear the cost of any damage.

• Air in the dryer environment should not contain dust particles.

The air where the dryer is installed should be thoroughly ventilated to prevent

reverse ﬂ ow of gases released from the gas appliances with open ﬁ re (e.g.

ﬁ replaces).

• Do not evacuate the air from the dryer through channels used for appliances

or devices that use natural gas or other fuels for their operation (only applies

to the evacuation dryer).

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Do not dry unwashed laundry in the dryer.

• Laundry stained with oil, acetone, alcohol, oil derivatives, stain removers,

turpentine, wax, and wax removers should be washed in a washing machine

with hot water and detergent before it is dried in the dryer.

with its left side, viewing from the appliance front, downwards (only applies to

dryers with a heat pump).

• The appliance shall not be in contact with a wall or adjacent furniture.

• If the dryer is connected to an air exhaust system already used for another

appliance, a non-return valve must be installed. Reverse ﬂ ow into the dryer

could damage the appliance, and the non-return valve prevents such reverse

ﬂ ow (only applies to evacuation dryer).

• A ﬂ oat will switch oﬀ the appliance if the condensed water pipe is clogged

or if there is a risk of overﬂ owing of the condensed water accumulated in the

condensed water tank (only applies to condenser dryers and dryers with a

heat pump).

• If you wish to move the dryer or store it in a non-heated room during winter, it

is essential that you ﬁ rst empty the condensed water tank (only applies to the

condenser dryers and dryers with a heat pump).

• Maximum drying capacity in kg (for the Cotton program) is indicated on the

rating plate.

SAFETY

• Only use the dryer to dry laundry that was washed with water. Do not

dry any laundry that was washed or cleaned with ﬂ ammable cleaners or

substances (such as gasoline, trichloroethylene etc.) as this may result in an

explosion.

• If you have cleaned your clothes with industrial cleaners or chemical

substances, do not dry them in the dryer.

• If the air exhaust hose is connected to an opening in the wall, inﬂ ux of

cool air may be prevented by installing a ventilation grille (only applies to

evacuation dryer).

• The air exhaust hose shall not be connected to an active chimney used to

evacuate smoke or waste gases; into a shaft intended for ventilating rooms

with combustion equipment; or into a chimney used by third parties. If smoke

or waste gases return to the room where the dryer is installed, there is a

danger of poisoning (only applies to evacuation dryer).

• The dryer is protected with an automatic switch-oﬀ system in case of

overheating. The system switches oﬀ the heater if the temperature is too high

(only applies to evacuation and condenser dryer).

• If the net ﬁ lter is clogged, the automatic heater switch-oﬀ device can be

triggered. See chapter "CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE" (only applies to

evacuation and condenser dryer).

• WARNING! The back of the dryer may get very hot during

operation. Wait for the dryer to cool down completely before

touching its back side. (Observe the instructions in the chapter

"INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION")

• Never stop a drying cycle or do not open the door before the end of the

program. If you do so for any reason, be careful when taking the laundry from

the drum as it can still be very hot and there is a risk of burning.

Quickly remove the laundry from the drum and spread it to allow it to cool

down as quickly as possible.

CHILD SAFETY

• Do not allow the children to play with the dryer.

• Prevent your children and pets to enter the dryer drum.

DRYER PLACEMENT

The dryer can be either free standing or installed on

top of a washing machine.

The dryer emits heat. Therefore, do not place it in

a very small room, as the drying process may be

longer due to limited amount of ambient air.

Do not place the dryer in a room where

temperature can drop below 0 °C, as the machine

may not operate correctly at such low temperatures

or freeze with damages as consequences.

For optimum dryer operation, install it in a room with

adequate ventilation and a temperature between

10 °C and 25 °C.

Do not place the dryer behind lockable or sliding

door, or door with a hinge on the opposite side of the

dryer door hinge. Install the dryer in such way that

the door can always be freely opened.

Never block the air vents.

At least two persons are required to install the

tumble dryer on top of a washing machine.

Do not place the dryer on a carpet with long

ﬁ bres as this may impede air circulation.

Free-standing appliance

The dryer may be placed adjacent to a washing

machine.

To prevent the dryer from sliding around, use a non-

slip support or pad or attached vacuum feet (see

below).

Stacking on top of a washing machine

To stack the dryer on top of a washing machine, use

the extra vacuum feet and the tipping guard (A+B),

supplied in the cardboard box in the dryer drum.

Tipping guard part B is designed to ﬁ t on ASKO

washing machines and it may be hard or impossible

to mount on appliances of other brands. If the

washing machine and dryer are not of matching

dimensions or if you have installed a hidden helper

between the two appliances, then binding plates

are available as optional accessories at the service

center (… available only for HH (acessory Hidden

Helpers) and TD75 stacked on top of WM80 or

WM85; not intended for any other combinations).

All ASKO washing machines will bear the weight of

the dryer.

Washing machine on which you wish to install

the dryer must be able to bear the weight of the dryer

(see washing machine’s rating plate or technical

information).

How to stack a dryer onto the washing machine (ASKO):

There is a cardboard box in the dryer drum, containing the vacuum feet and the tipping guard.

A B

The tipping guard consists of two metal parts (A +

B).

Use two screws to attach the A part to the back of the

dryer.

Undo the screw on the back side of the washing

machine.

Use the screw to attach the tipping guard (B part)

to the back of the washing machine.

Level the washing machine so that it is stable.

1. Level the washing machine in longitudinal and

traverse direction by rotating the adjustable feet

using a No. 32 spanner.

The feet allow levelling by +/- 1 cm.

2. After adjusting the height of the feet, ﬁ rmly

tighten the jam nuts (counter nuts) using a

spanner No 17, by turning them towards the

bottom of the washing machine .

3. Tighten the jam nuts (counter nuts).

5 mm

Set the dryer feet:

1. Tighten the front two feet all the way in.

2. Undo the back feet by 3.5 turns or 5 mm; then,

fasten the jam nuts towards the bottom of the

appliance .

Place the dryer onto the washing machine:

1. Lift the front part of the dryer by 5 to 10 cm.

2. Attach the vacuum feet onto the front feet of the

dryer.

3. Push the dryer into the tipping guard (so that

the B part is inserted into the A part) and

release it (See ﬁ gure on previous page).

Make sure the tipping guard is "locked"!

CHANGING THE DOOR OPENING DIRECTION

To change the direction of door opening, proceed as follows.

Open the door fully.

Undo the screws and remove the door.

Use a screwdriver to remove the door lock cover

and undo the screw on the door lock.

Push the door lock upwards and remove it. Move

it to the other side and push it downwards.

Fasten the screw on the door lock. Replace the

door lock cover.

Undo the door hinge assembly (left) and the door

latch assembly (right), switch their positions, and

replace the screws (door hinge assembly to the right-

hand side, door latch assembly to the left-hand side).

Use a screwdriver to remove the plastic part more

easily.

Undo the door ring and remove it temporarily.

Rotate the door glass cover by 90°so that the sign

indicating the opening of the door is on the other

side.

Rotate the door ring by 180°, install it onto the

door, and fasten it with screws.

Replace the door on the door hinge and fasten

the screws.

DRAINING THE CONDENSATE

The moisture from the laundry is extracted in the condenser unit and accumulated in the condensate tank.

Condensate tank has to be emptied regularly (see chapter "CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE").

To simpliﬁ ed and avoid emptying and interruption of the drying cycle due to full condensate tank, run the

condensate discharge tube located at the back of the appliance directly into a drain.

Remove the small short hose from the attachment

(A).

max 1000 mm

max 300 mm

Connect the supplied drain hose to the same

attachment (A).

Run the condensate drain hose into a drain. Tie the

hose onto a tap (B) so that it cannot slip during use.

The drain hose can also be fed into the washbasin

siphon (C) or directly into the ﬂ oor drain (D).

Then, the water is pumped directly into a washbasin, a

siphon, or a ﬂ oor drain.

Do not pull the drain hose, and make sure it is not

under tension, clamped, or bent.

If you decide to run the condensate drain hose into a drain, siphon, or washbasin, make sure the hose is

securely fastened. This will prevent any water spillage that could result in unexpected damage.

Always use hoses that are attached to the appliance.

If the dryer is connected to an air exhaust system already used for another appliance, a non-return valve

must be installed. Return ﬂ ow into the dryer could damage the appliance and the non-return valve prevents

such ﬂ ow.

CONNECTING TO THE POWER MAINS

After installation, the dryer should stand still for

two hours before it is connected to the power mains.

Connect the appliance to an earthed power outlet.

After installation, the wall outlet should be freely

accessible. The outlet should be ﬁ tted with an earth

contact (in compliance with the relevant regulations).

mains using an extension cord.

Do not connect the tumble dryer to an electrical

outlet intended for an electric shaver or hair dryer.

Any repair and maintenance pertaining to safety

or performance should be done by trained experts.

This chapter includes several advices on how to

prepare the laundry from drying.

LAUNDRY SORTING

Sort the laundry according to:

• type,

• fabric thickness.

For the most even drying, make sure the laundry is

made of a similar material.

CLOTHING

1. Close the buttons, zips, and hook-and-loop

fasteners, so that they do not damage the fabric.

2. Turn the pockets inside out.

3. Place very sensitive clothes in a special-purpose

laundry washing bag.

(The special purpose laundry bag is available as

an optional accessory in general stores.)

Laundry to be dried in the dryer should be spun

at a minimum of 1000 rpm. Higher spinning speeds

will save energy and cut drying time.

If you decide to dry only one large item, we

recommend drying it separately from smaller items of

laundry.
